MID BUDGET 4 season camping tent - 3f ul gear Taiji 2 tent review

[@tonyjedioftheforest1364]

Great advice for check the tent first. I once went camping to Scotland with my wife and we had a brand new tent to try for Millets. We got to our 1st camp at 2 in the morning and it was only then we realised that we didn’t have any tent pegs. We ended up using screwdrivers and spanners

[@mountainmantararua8824]

All my tents I put up in the garden for up to 5 days in rain and sunshine. It's amazing the things that can go wrong, I've had stitching come undone, leaks appear, hemming coming away . I must say here that I've never had a problem with returning the tents. Always happy to listen and to check their QC. Cheers from the Mountains of NZ 😀😀

[@RaynarNslR]

Good tent, like to see how it fares in the winter time! Did my first solo in my hammock this weekend, defo need an under quilt and a top blanket. Ended up sleeping under the centre zip sleeping bag because it was difficult getting into. I was that person thanks for the tips and the encouragement. Stay safe atb 👍🦊

[@billmitchell7731]

Like number 668. I've used coleman tents all my life. Very reasonably priced and I've never had a leaky one. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@brindle2009]

Great video again Dan very useful information about this tent ⛺ 👍 😀 👌 👏

[@shabingly]

I'd mostly agree with your price bracket systemic methodological algorithm. I'd say up to 200 odd for a low end 2 man, though. I quite like how the guys attach to the poles, but then I'd like how the fly clips to the poles are stitched to be a bit more..... strong looking? Maybe a triangular piece of material (long side on the fly), or maybe more of the clips? Weight though, innit. 1.8kg ain't bad for a semi-freestanding tent that'll fit two 25" wide sleeping pads. I've a one man that weighs that with the footprint. As in most things, you get what you pay for: would I stick this at 600 metres above the treeline in January? No. But then, I think people who chose to do that are bonkers, I like picking my pitches with a bit of thought for sleep 😂

[@boxiedog]

I really like my (3 season) Taiji. Light, easy to pitch and most importantly, pitches all in one. Aldi have hammocks in this week for £12 by the way!

[@JamesBrowneye]

Been a while since you made this post, just wondered how the taiji is going on. Especially in heavy rain. Thanks

[@paumartinez5842]

I bought it from collins outdoors in August, it arrived in about 9 days, I used it 3 times and everything was fine

[@NUTBOT74]

Thanks for the good advice and run through of the tents 👍🏻 be good to see how this one does in some wind and rain.

[@Martycycleman]

Yep that sounds the one for me special at that weight and price and could belive the room.

[@BrownEnvelopes]

Fyi, bottom pole goes through loop..second pole is clipped and 3 section pole goes on top clip

[@tobester4172]

Good tent that is. I probably would've bought one if I saw it before I bought the cloud up 2, which is great too. Good video mate atb 👍

[@BulldogBadger]

First Badger 👍👍👍

[@evanmclean4893]

Looks like a similar setting up to the Naturehike, decent looking tent. Need to get out more myself

[@alanearle2353]

Great vlog as always, it'll be good to you use it at some point this winter

[@geroj1063]

Love you're stuff. From Ireland

[@atcay81]

Arghhhh can't believe I missed this video somehow 🤷.. Anyways better late than never right 😉 watching now buddy 🙌🤗

[@mtcsypkens]

Surprised by the weight. Expected it to be much heavier. Looks interesting.

[@bidufree]

Nice review. About measurements, you shouldn't trust the production info and always measure the tent yourself. Cheers! :)

[@Michael-4]

I like it. Wouldn't rely on it in winter though.

[@TimelordUK]

I want this tent but I'm still waiting for a video showing it out in bad bad wind and rain

[@paulengland3654]

hi Dan love your vids i bought a vango spey 200 for £40 pounds iv tried it in the garden seems very good i wounder'd if you wanted to give it a review i bought it from sports pursuit, thanks

[@jamesellsworth9673]

Maybe a short length of velcro tape could be used to connect the three top poles where they intersect.

[@leehayes70]

Euro hike DLX 3. £60. Had it in the worst weather, never let a drop in. Huge porch, huge sleeping area. Hard to beat.

[@forddude1976]

My son has one, his not used it in bad weather yet, I must say I do like the look of them. I might add one to my collection 🙂

[@TimelordUK]

headroom? Weight?

[@leehayes70]

@@TimelordUK Not too heavy and tall enough.

[@randomhato]

If water gets through a 6000hh foot print, it'll easily get through a 4000hh ground sheet. You can't really add them together. At the point the foot print leaks it's beyond failure point of the ground sheet. Granted, you'd have pitch it on a lake or sea shore below high tide point at 6000hh!

[@rtk3543]

What is this fad for tent footprints, why not just have a decent tent floor in the first place.

[@TimelordUK]

​@@rtk3543 exactly!!!! I think tent manufacturers do it to keep the weight down so it seems more attractive to buyers. Thinner groundsheet, lighter tent, more sales, purchase the extra footprint, even more sales!

[@ivandavidson5694]

Nice one dan

[@md2320]

Anything up to £100 is bloody expensive. Hose pipe = water meter!!! I now know all Yorkshire men are loaded.....👍💰

[@turtlewolfpack6061]

Had my eyes on this one but I am leary of silnylon holding water longer than poly. I do have a wee little shaped silnylon tarp but haven't bushed with it yet.

[@BulldogBadger]

Looks a decent tent but does have a few faffy bits

[@blueboy231]

Hi m8. Do you know where i can get a 4 season inner for this tent please.

[@chriscjjones8182]

I was gonna say it looks like a brilliant tent but the lack of storage inside let's it down a lot. 1.8kg is lighter than I thought it was going to be though, but then it's aluminium poles not fiberglass. And did you say guide lines instead of guy lines or is it the accent?

[@outdooradventuresdave]

Hi dave here from sheffield I've recently purchased the forceatt 1 to 2 person and really like it my best so far have you had it if so whats your review about it . I'm just about ready for my next big hike .

[@simonward4520]

How does it compare to the cloud peak 2, lighter by the looks of it. Which do you think is better?

[@JohnSmith-df4vb]

Probably not a good idea to use the hose pipe test atm, best just waiting for a rainy day.

[@englishwoodsman]

Well not at this time of the year. I alway test all my new tent this way

[@JohnSmith-df4vb]

@@englishwoodsman just saying with hose pipe bans popping up all over the country.

[@JLowe-uu8lr]

Cool !=8)

[@trevormegson7583]

Tents are Ace.

[@bobhead6243]

🙂👍

[@thetattooedangler]

it can be difficult to tell what level a tent is at because of gooutdoors arbitrary pricing policy. Just recently, I bought the OEX Jackal III for £70, although it was listed at £240rrp. Now, I doubt anybody has ever paid that much for it, but it is a very good tent and well worth the money I paid, but is is a mid range or an entry level tent based on the price alone? I also bought the OEX Phoxx 1 V2 from Tiso for £45, listed at £120rrp. Normally I wouldn't pay so little, £45 doesn't buy you £35 these days, but it's another very good tent. But is it an entry level 1PT or not?

[@thetattooedangler]

@@OffGridwanderlust yeah, i agree with that, but the point I was making is that can a tent with an rrp of £200 that usually sells for £80 or less be classed as mid range, or is it a beginners/budget tent with an over inflated price tag?

[@doggystyle1970]

Slightly off topic but can you recommend a tarp for going between 2 small tents? Thanks mate.

[@andrewfrank5602]

For all the things that oex make the tarp is the outstanding product. Around 50 quid and it is bulletproof fabulous piece of kit almost 3 by 3. Do not be tempted to buy their hammock it's junk. Happy camping p.s. use bungees😃👍

[@JLowe-uu8lr]

Ya air it out it could put out a chemical smell when new !=8)

[@wad6216]

Maybe not use the hosepipe now as you might have the neighbours phoning the Police !

[@garymartin557]

budget tent up to £120, mid price up to £250 higher end over £250

[@cdesfusa]

Like your videos but do you actually ever wild camp, or are you just a salesman????

[@englishwoodsman]

God your so funny. Take a look at my videos . And what wrong with showing equipment??

[@henryporter5466]

Chinese tents are not for me.

[@englishwoodsman]

Most times are made in China mate
